Wishing Well, Jersey

Coastal beach house, Jersey 

​

The site known as “Wishing Well” is located in the Coastal National Park in St. Ouen, Jersey. Positioned on the beach front with views across the bay, this contemporary family home uses rugged local granite and SRE rammed earth construction to embed the building in its natural context and create a symbiotic relationship between the land and the sea.

 

A central plan arrangement focusses the internal orientation to create a visual connection though the building, whilst living areas and a shaded dining pavilion on first floor celebrate the views across the landscape. 

​

As the first SRE project on the island, Fieldwork have led a rigid R+D process to coordinate and explore the best material mixture and construction process to achieve beautiful results. Careful contemporary detailing to the granite wall and stonework surround the SRE structure and provide a durable facade to resist the elements. 

​

The project is currently on site, due for completion in 2024.
